Description

"All I ask is a tall steamwalker and a star to steer her by."

In 1897 the Dutch Royal Navy deployed two of the world’s largest steamwalkers into the Artic, in an effort to reach the magnetic North Pole. The Dutch-built “Buffel” and “Mammoet” demonstrated considerable improvements on the British Mk1 Mechanized Walkers marrekie.deviantart.com/art/Me… , featuring better stability and maneuverability, higher cruising speeds and a considerable payload capacity. The steam expedition reached the North Pole on August 22nd 1897, beating the British Royal Navy to the punch by five months.

Somehow, I get the feeling that this can fit into Frostpuk. Ever played that game?
